String Exception in Java

Question

I want to know if a particular exception is available for catching non-String input in java.

My purpose is that if a user enters other than String input, it goes to a catch block and displays "Enter String input".

I know that for numeric input there is NumberFormatException, so is there any Exception like this?

sorry what i meant was if input contains numeric data, i know numeric data is also consider as String, So any solution? — MateenSheikh, Dec 14 '14 at 13:52

A numeric input can always be interpreted as a String, so there is no such exception.

You'll have to check the characters of the String to find out if it contains digits.
